This weeks Theme is Shiny

Last summer we went to Chicago to visit my brother and his family. It was a long drive back and forth and a very short visit. We were there to go to a concert and well visit with family.

During one of the days we were there we drove into downtown Chicago and proceeded to take our own walking tour of the city. This shiny moose was one of the great sculptures that we saw and photographed.

We loved Chicago BTW. It’s very much like Toronto. If you ever get to go to either city you’ll now have an idea of what the other one is like.

This weeks Theme is Water

I’m destroying my image here lately. I’m not supposed to have nice photos on this site! They’re supposed to be funny, silly, stupid even … sigh …

This is a photo that Trish took last July when we were driving to Ottawa to go to her aunt’s 80th birthday party. It was a really nice summer day and we stopped by a lake about half way through our drive to stretch our legs and take some photos.

I remember it as being a hot steamy day, but it was nice by the water. It was great idea to stop. Trish spent some time at the edge of the water looking for frogs and turtles. We did manage to find some small leopard frogs, but they hopped away too fast to take any good pictures of them.

In case you don’t recognize the plants by the water that’s bull rushes in the foreground. I think the blown looking plants are either older bull rushes or perhaps some blown milkweed.

Hope everyone’s having a great Saturday!

Check out the photos that Trish put up on As the Garden Grows and Tricia’s Musings too! They’re great!
